It's hard to believe that the iPad and the hundreds of tablets that arrived in its wake have been around for only three years. On April 3, 2010, Apple released the original iPad to the public, kicking off a whirlwind of innovation in a space that was previously known only for niche, experimental, and downright odd products. One could still argue that the iPad—and other tablets like it—are meant for a niche audience, but it's clear that tablets as we know them today have struck a chord with the masses. Apple alone has sold 100 million iPads as of October 2012.
It feels like modern tablets have been around a lot longer, but three years is still nothing to sneeze at. Reflecting upon the last three years of tablet mania, the Ars staff and contributors began to share stories about how our iPads or other tablets have changed how we interact with our devices and the Internet. Most of us were heavy tablet skeptics when the iPad was first announced, and some of us still are. So in honor of the three-year anniversary of the iPad, we decided to share some of our experiences with you on how our lives have changed—or how they haven't, depending the case.
Tablets have earned a place in our lives
Nate Anderson, Deputy Editor:
I was definitely a tablet skeptic—I can use my laptop to do anything a tablet can do! What a waste to get an extra device! But I eventually picked up an iPad anyway and learned four lessons. First, the utility of technology isn't simply about end results but about the process of obtaining them. My three-year-old can barely use a mouse, much less open a laptop and launch programs—but she has no problem swiping her way through the unlock screen, flipping through screens of apps, launching her educational games, playing them, quitting them, launching other games, and shutting off the device when finished. Sure, many of the same programs could run on the laptop as well, but even so, they would remain inaccessible to her for a few a more years. My kids are tablet power users who already understand concepts like code updates ("Dad, see if there are any new levels out for Cut the Rope!") and crashes ("This program is broken. I'm going to try another one").
Second, the power of tablets exceeded my expectations. Tablets looked at first like decent consumption devices for books, music, and video—and indeed they were often described in those terms. But even the imprecision of a touch interface was soon put to use for more creative ends. While few creation apps on tablets can match pro tools on computers, they can at least throw open creative possibilities to millions of amateurs—and for just a few bucks an app. When I watch a five-year-old and her friend create their own princess cartoon, complete with hand-drawn backgrounds, animation, music, and narrative voiceover—all without any help—I think back to all the things I wanted to try when I was kid (claymation stop-motion animation of giant monsters!) and marvel at just how powerful creative tools now are.
Third, many people actually prefer locked-down computing environments. My parents have both picked up iPads in their retirement and use them constantly, even shooting video and sending it to relatives. This never once happened when doing so required using a camera, hooking that camera up to the computer, uploading footage, compressing it, and e-mailing it out. And they are largely free of worries about malware or the complications of the Windows desktop. For people who largely need consumption apps and a Web browser, the security advantages and simplicity of tablets are features, not bugs.
Finally, I find using the tablet a more soothing experience. This is unlikely to be a universal feeling, but as someone who spends my entire day at a computer using a mouse-and-keyboard, my hands welcome a chance to do something different and my back welcomes a chance to recline on the couch. But there's a mental component, too. Cracking open my laptop in the evening presents me with windows holding to-do lists, open browser tabs for in-progress stories, instant messages, e-mail, and book projects. In short, I feel like I've just returned to the office. Using a tablet feels, however illogically, like being at home.
Eric Bangeman, Managing Editor:
Laptop neglect. That's the best way to describe how the iPad has changed my computing habits since its introduction three years ago. Before the iPad, my MacBook was an all-purpose device, used all over the house for all sorts of tasks. Since I purchased my first iPad, my MacBook is now a single-purpose machine, used only for work. If I was sitting on the couch, I'd have my laptop with me maybe a quarter of the time. Now, I've got my iPad 100 percent of the time.
In addition to displacing my laptop, the iPad has also been chasing paper out of my house. I buy and read books on the iPad. I'm an avid magazine reader, and as Sports Illustrated, The Economist, Rugby World, and The Atlantic have come out with full-featured digital editions, I've let my print subscriptions lapse. I'm also much happier reading The New York Times via its iOS app than manipulating large pieces of paper. And the apps leave more room in the recycling bin for things like empty beer cans and wine bottles.
Has it revolutionized my life? No, it's just a tablet. But it has made content consumption a lot more convenient for me. Watching TV with my iPad, I can answer nagging questions like which season of 30 Rock David Schwimmer appeared in, and then browse Facebook during a commercial break. It's also a way to take little mental vacations: I can zone out for a few minutes and play a mindless iOS game or browse the 730-page funny pictures thread in the Lounge.
I could live without it, but I would rather not.
Sean Gallagher, IT Editor:
My home is now a three iPad household: Me, the technologist/early adopter/occasional hacker; my wife, the librarian and mediavore; and my 18-year-old son, the musician and recording engineer. My daughter, the 12-year old, uses a second-hand Samsung Galaxy Tab for texting and games.
The Galaxy Tab gets used more than all the iPads combined. That may say more about the user than the devices, but it also has to do with form factor.
As an early adopter (well, not too early—I waited for the iPad 2), I tried to push the boundaries of what the iPad could do. I often used it instead of a notebook for distinctly notebook-like things, courtesy of a Bluetooth keyboard. Using Mail, the iWork apps, Skype, and a couple of other apps, it was my mobile office. Its size was more amenable to use on an airplane with the Belkin keyboard and folio than my aging Toshiba Satellite. But since I've gotten the MacBook Air, I use it a lot less for those things, and I use my iPhone more because of its size. Now my iPad is more of an e-reader and a Netflix platform than work station. I've considered handing it down to my daughter because it spends more time in a drawer than anywhere else.
My wife uses her iPad to read e-galleys—early reader e-editions of upcoming books. It has reduced the clutter of books around the house. Her library system has started to try to get librarians to use the iPad as a reference tool, allowing them to wander the floor and help patrons find the books they want. That effort still has some kinks in it, since the iPads only have access to the public Wi-Fi and thus the same catalog system as patrons use. (Sadly, it's one that can't tell them the circulation status of a book as well as the computers on their desks.)
My 18-year old uses the iPad and GarageBand to do rough compositions of songs, to play with ideas, and as a personal practice amp for electric guitar. The iPad has become a staple of live sound, with apps that allow an engineer to adjust board levels wirelessly from anywhere within a venue. He also uses it for social media and to check his e-mail. But his needs exceed the iPad's grasp; he would rather lug the iMac I handed down to him around because it runs ProTools.
My daughter is the most tablet-focused of all of us. She takes her Galaxy Tab to school, collects video for reports, plays games, watches videos, and uses a program called Text + to send friends SMS messages. Her school uses Google Apps, so she collaborates on Google Drive docs for her projects. The Galaxy Tab is her constant companion, largely because she doesn't have a smartphone or a dedicated personal computer like the rest of us—and because the Galaxy Tab is more portable than the iPad.
Florence Ion, Reviews Editor:
The iPad first debuted when I was working at an Apple-centric publication, but back then I was incredibly skeptical. I had just invested in a MacBook Pro and was kind of irked at the idea that I had to switch up my lifestyle to accommodate this new… thing. Now tablets are as ubiquitous as smartphones, and although it's not necessary to have one, it's certainly feels essential. I now have three in my household: a third-generation iPad, a 32GB Nexus 7, and a Microsoft Surface with Windows RT. One is always within arm's reach, but it's usually the iPad that I pick up when I'm in the mood to consume content.
I started my career in the world of print and continue to be a huge evangelist of the medium. But as technology progresses, I've realized that I have to change the way I consume it, too. So far, only the iPad has been able to deliver the kind of magazine experience I'd expect in this new "digital age." New issues are delivered to me via Newsstand, and I can easily flip through pages, click on interactive content, and navigate to the websites offering the products I'm interested in. I also appreciate that some publishers offer both print and digital subscriptions so that I can access those issues but still have the actual magazine at home to collage and snip from. Adobe has even made it easier for publishers to push their issues through to the iPad. For the most part, I no longer have to store any physical magazines. I have access to every issue I've ever paid for, as it's all linked to my iTunes account.
It's also my primping and cooking companion: I'll use it to stream Spotify while I'm getting ready for a night out, and refer to Evernote while I'm trying out a new recipe in the kitchen. While it hasn't replaced my Kindle for reading e-books (the E Ink is easier on my eyes), I'm not sure I ever want to live without it again, even if I only mostly use it to read magazines.
Jon Brodkin, Senior IT Reporter:
I've been using tablets regularly since the iPad 2 came out, and it has completely changed my "leisure-time" computing—and it has even had some small influence on my work computing. While I'm still attached to a traditional computer during regular business hours, I now use a tablet for the majority of my time spent browsing the Web or writing short e-mails at night and on the weekends.
This holds true for both personal and work things, which can often feel like one and the same. Being tech-obsessed, I'm constantly reading news or Twitter on a tablet. (I do the same on my phone, but only if I am out of the house and thus not near my tablet.) If I find something newsworthy, I'll make a note to myself or e-mail colleagues who might be interested. Still, I have no desire to make the leap to writing articles on a tablet. If I hit the point where I'm writing an e-mail longer than a couple of sentences or am writing something for publication, I shift to a laptop or desktop. Physical keyboards are awesome!
I still see tablet holdouts argue that they don't need tablets, and that's absolutely true. Almost no one "needs" a tablet. But lots of us want them, and that's a perfectly good reason to buy one. Tablets can both replace some of the time otherwise spent on "real" computers and increase the amount of time spent computing in general. For example, I am now more likely to read long form articles, because if I see something during the day that I don't have time to read, I save it to read on my tablet at night. There are more pros than cons, but the expansion of time spent computing can be both good and bad. Even when I'm trying to read a book (on my e-reader) that tablet is right there, beckoning me, and that's not always a good thing.
Andrew Cunningham, Associate Writer:
I didn't initially see the appeal of the original iPad, which my then-employer bought for me in the pre-multitasking, pre-Notification Center, pre-multiple-Exchange-accounts dark days of iOS 3.2. When it finally arrived, iOS 4.2 helped bring the tablet into its own, and subsequent hardware and software updates (as well as a steady stream of tablet-ready apps) further convinced me that tablets could fill a niche that smartphones couldn't. However, the advent of lightweight and powerful Ultrabooks and MacBooks Air that didn't weigh much more than the iPad happened at about the same time, so if I'm traveling I typically choose the computer over the tablet.
Smaller tablets like the Nexus 7 and iPad mini change this equation. They're large enough to be good at tablet-y things, but small enough to ride shotgun in your laptop bag when you're on long trips. The Nexus 7 in particular has been a constant companion on the road in the last six months, primarily because it's a near-perfect e-reader while also being a pretty good device for checking e-mail, managing calendars, and doing general Web browsing. It would probably be hyperbole to say that tablets have changed my life, but the smaller ones at least have found a very comfortable niche in between my laptop and my smartphone that I'd hate to see unfilled.
Jonathan Gitlin, Contributing Writer:
I won't deny it—when Apple announced the iPod, and later the iPhone, I was a skeptic. I didn't see the point, and I didn't want to be the first on the block to own either of the shiny new gadgets. The iPad, though, was different. PDFs no longer needed printing out. It had the perfect form factor for reading comics. Ten-hour battery life meant that needing a laptop on a plane for entertainment was a thing of the past. Those first few months saw me use it for note-taking in meetings, a task made slightly harder due to the constant stream of questions from colleagues about the new device: "Is that an iPad?" "Can you really type on it?" "Are you from the future?" A work-issued MacBook Air means I don't use it for meetings as much anymore, although with double the battery life and built-in connectivity thanks to LTE, I still break out the iPad from time to time.
Primarily though, it's a content consumption device for me. It keeps me occupied on my daily WMATA commute, and it streams familiar NPR stations in unfamiliar hotels. A transition to digital magazines means I no longer need to wait five or six weeks to get the most recent issue from the UK, and the only physical books I buy any more are coffee table sized. An upgrade to an iPad 3, with its retina display, has made reading comics or scientific papers a joy, and streaming Netflix or DirecTV in bed is a breeze. Yes, the keyboard is a pain to type with. Yes, it can be a little bit heavy when reading one-handed, but no more so than a hardback. Trying to read outside in the sun doesn't always work well, but when it's 2am and the lights are off it's a different story.
Happy Birthday, iPad. I can't wait to see what the next three years will bring.

The Dictionary Inside the King James Bible Book and CD-ROM
Click to enlarge
Includes both the paperback book and the CD-ROM, which includes all ebook formats, including ePub, Kindle, and ePDF.
Searchable back and forth with your own digital Bible
More than doubles the 2,000 definitions.
For example, a search for the word 'highminded', defines it as 1.) 'heady' 2 Tim 3:4), 2.) 'pride' Job 41:34, and 3.) 'conceits' Rom 12:16. Although those three words do not have direct entries in this dictionary, each is automatically defined by the other two, as well as by the main entry 'highminded.'
Confirms definitions. For example, by searching for the definition of 'expectation' its main entry defines it as 'hope' in Phil. 1:20. In addition, 'expectation' is found to be a definition of 'hope' in Prov. 11:7 in its main entry. There you will also see that 'expectation' is further defined as 'with patience wait' in Rom. 8:23, 24, 2). The possibilities and definitions are multiplied and confirmed.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas House is preparing to take final action on a bill that supporters say is an attempt to encourage cooperation between the Kansas Turnpike Authority and the state Department of Transportation.
Some House members fear the bill up for a vote Monday is a step toward a merger and diverting revenues from the 236-mile turnpike to other uses.
The House's vote will determine whether the bill passes and goes to the Senate.
It stops far short of Gov. Sam Brownback's proposal for a merger of the transportation agencies.
Instead, it expands the specific authority of KDOT and the Turnpike Authority to contract so they can provide administrative services to each other. Also, they could work jointly on roads connecting to the turnpike.

Investigators say 30-year-old Freddy Shelby of Albuquerque was arrested Sunday after the homeowners called police to report their unwanted mystery guest.
According to a criminal complaint, Shelby broke into the couple's home through a window and grabbed a Sprite from the refrigerator before falling asleep in the master bedroom. Authorities say the homeowners found a disrobed Shelby in a deep sleep.
Officers arrived and called to the man, but he slept through it. Authorities say Shelby woke up only after an officer ripped the blankets off him.
Shelby told officers he thought he was at his girlfriend's house.
He was charged with breaking and entering. It wasn't immediately known if he had an attorney.

A peculiar bug has been discovered that apparently cuts off the last word of certain phrases sent through iMessages. The word appears invisible to both the sender and the recipient.
A MacRumors screenshot shows the words "Obama" and "surprise" left off of the two sent messages. In an effort to emulate the bug, our own Senior Apple Editor Jacqui Cheng sent out the same two messages, and both were mysteriously missing the same words, despite then being seen as the messages were being composed.
Evidence of the bug is making the rounds on Twitter, though it seems to have been discovered back in December by Apple Support forum member "Mazzlefizz." The original post inquired about iMessages occasionally sending out messages with missing words. "It's repeatable," the poster explained. "It can happen with both short and longer messages." Mazzlefizz also posited that it could have "something to do with the length of the message or how it is being wrapped."
For now, it appears that messages are at least appearing normally on the iPad. There is currently no explanation for why the bug might be present, but you can always file a report with Apple if it happens to you.

Welcome to my spiritual art blog
Kirpal Sagar – translated: Ocean of Grace
A place for the whole mankind, where all world-religions are peacefully under one roof.
My Master used to say: "Be Good, Do Good and Be One" – with these practical attributes we can live our life in service to man, in service to our soul and in service to God.
Teachings of Sant Kirpal Singh:

Information about Kirpal Sagar:
About myself:
First and foremost I am highly interested in spirituality, in the discovery who we are, where we come from and where we have to go – it is an inner journey to dig out all the treasures which are hidden in a human mind and heart. With honesty towards ourselves, towards others and towards God, it is a helping tool to find ourselves in the labyrinth of mind and outer world (just then, when we have lost ourselves). In this way I want to share with you experiences I have made during my life – in the sense of: "Man know thyself"
Since many years I have combined these three ways of art: video-creation, digital art, and poetry.
Dear visitor, feel free and comfortable to look around in my blog.
Thank you for your visit and attention.
In thankfulness to my Master Sant Kirpal Singh Ji and His Gurmukhs Dr. Harbhajan Singh and his wife Biji Surinder Kaur.

TMI week marches on.*
I am so excited to be able to chat with Audrey Watters. Audrey writes (like 100 posts a day) at a leading tech blog ReadWriteWeb.com as well as HackEducation.com. Her posts on both blogs are often center around educational technology, and the interactions of tech and cultural trends and institutions, including this recent one on an app that librarians might be excited about. Be sure to check out her weekly Ed Tech Roundups to keep up with that world. I could go on a fanboy rant here and talk about how cool it was to meet Audrey (along with Seamus and Adrianne) here in NYC when I was interning with ReadWriteWeb, and how she was the first real life internet celebrity that I met, and how encouraging it was to chat with her about the state of education generally and some of my ideas (that may or may not have developed into this here bloggy blog!), and how I got super excited when she showed up on my favorite Digital Humanities podcast talking about ebooks… but I won't. 😉
Listen on…
*We're noticing a lack of comments on these shortcasts, and would like some feedback: Like/Dislike? Mix it in with writing?

There's bad news to come in Google's earnings call later today. But the news was supposed to come a few hours later, and with a presumably sunny quote from CEO Larry Page.
That's not how it went down, however. Somebody at the search giant filed its earnings with the SEC early, and the press release is clearly a version not meant for public distribution—it's marked "PENDING LARRY QUOTE" at the top.
The earnings themselves are pretty terrible. The company earned $2.74 billion during the third quarter, as opposed to $3.06 billion during the same quarter last year. That's $9.03 in earnings per share, well below analysts' expectations of $10.65 per share.
Google stock dropped almost $70 on the accidentally released news, hitting $687.30 per share before the company halted trading.
The search giant blamed the news leak on the financial printing company it works with, RR Donnelley. RR Donnelley stock dropped about five percent before climbing back, probably due to investors assuming the company would lose a big customer, get sued, or both. Facebook stock is also down nearly four percent today on news of the poor Google results (the Google drop indicates online ad revenue is down, and that doesn't bode well for Facebook either).
Google has said that once the earnings release is "finalized" the company will release its earnings, resume trading, and hold its earnings call as scheduled at 1:30 PM Pacific Time.
The screw-up took place while the company was trying to focus press attention on a different event: in San Francisco, Google was showing off its new $249 Chromebook.
The Google slide appears to be part of a wider slump today in the technology sector. Bloomberg reports that tech stocks on the S&P 500 dropped 1.4 percent overall; in addition to the Facebook fall, Apple slid 1.8 percent and IBM dropped 2.6 percent.

Who is an actor you fail to enjoy?(self)
Disclaimer: To enjoy, not understand. I feel like this is a common criticism where you don't get the hype around a certain actor like "I don't understand the appeal" or "It's not for you to get." I get why people like [this actor] but they are not my taste.
For me it has to be Jeremy Renner. I've never enjoyed him in anything because I always get major douche vibes whenever he is on screen, with every character he plays come across like a cocky asshole with a smug attitude.
Why is he a prick?
I think it goes beyond that with his weird young women sex cult he's running...

In honor of the coming weekend's festivities, which for some will mean a kiss at midnight, let's look at works from LACMA's collection that illustrate this intimate act. This simple but complex action communicates an emotion that transcends all barriers—continent, race, gender, time—and continues to inspire artists to capture it in their work.
Edvard Munch, perhaps best known for The Scream, depicts the blossoming of love in this woodcut piece, in which a couple shares a tender and passionate embrace, their bodies blending together toward the bottom of the work.
In this engraving by artist Noel Le Mire, which was part of a suite of plates made for the book Collection complète des oeuvres de J. J. Rousseau, a woman grants a first kiss to her lover (who looks slightly taken aback).
Because kissing is not just reserved for intimate moments between lovers, artists have recreated other examples of the loving gesture. Shown on this Greek bottle circa 360–350 B.C., a mother and child kiss and engage in a mutual embrace. The mother is the love goddess Aphrodite and the son is the eternally boyish god Eros. You can read more about this piece in our Collections Online.
This ivory Japanese netsuke from the 18th century shows a pair of geese kissing and is only about two inches tall.
And I do love this print by Austrian artist Hochenleiter. It is so comical and there is such movement to it, as if the artist captured it right when the man on the left grabbed the man on the right and pulled them together.

We recently hung a bird feeder in front of our large bay window, and my two girls (3 years old and 22 months) have enjoyed watching out for any fowl brave enough to stop for a bite under the watchful eyes of our beagle mix. So far, this has been limited to one plucky cardinal. Observing their excitement at watching the birds got me thinking about what other wildlife viewing opportunities I could create up for them – tricky during this year's seemingly endless winter. But luckily when the weather gets tough, the tough can go online. There is a menagerie of webcams around the world, broadcasting animals of all kinds in zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries and the wild. I figure if my kids are going to beg me to watch videos on the computer, at least they can learn some observation skills and gain an appreciation for wildlife. I gave each of the girls paper and a box of crayons, and encouraged them to draw pictures of the animals they were watching. For older kids there are even
you can use to help encourage your own budding Jane Goodalls. Here are some sites to help you get started on your own virtual safari. 1.
: These cameras are kind of like those old-school tropical fish screensavers, only with actual fish. The National Aquarium in Baltimore offers an underwater view of its
, featuring more than 700 inhabitants in 70 species including blacktip reef sharks, stingrays, a 500-pound sea turtle and a rainbow of other fish. Another cam offers a peek at the
exhibit, where your kids can spot Nemo (or one of his clownfish relatives) as well as anemones, sea stars and tangs. See how many fish you can identify. 2.
: The home of the piece de resistance of animal voyeurism –
– the Washington, D.C.-based zoo also offers you a chance to watch
. Most of the feeds are small, fixed and in black and white, which might not hold the attention of the littlest viewers, but the pandas and the
(now with super-cute cubs) are both in color with larger-sized displays. The panda cam also follows its subjects and zooms in to capture more of the action (and by action we mean close-ups of pandas either sleeping or chowing down on bamboo). 3.
: If your kids are as penguin-obsessed as mine (thank you, 'Happy Feet') they'll love Sea World's
featuring our favorite flippered birds. When I tuned in there was a crested penguin (think
) sleeping right in front of the camera blocking the view of his waddling brethren. Luckily, there were some other options on the site, including
. 4.
: If you've always dreamed on going on safari in Africa but dread the thought of all the planning, packing and the seemingly endless plane ride with your kids in tow, well here's the next best thing. Africam features six cameras live streaming prime wildlife spots throughout the African bush. If you want to try to spot critters in the daylight, be sure to log on in the morning, as the action is about seven hours ahead of East Coast time. If there's nothing going on, check out the
, where you can catch highlights of everything from fighting zebras to rare wild dogs taking down an impala (some of the footage is graphic). There are also forums where you can chat with other viewers and virtual rangers, as well as information pages on the different animals you see. 5.
: The network devoted to all things furry, feathered and scaled hosts a variety of feeds – from
– all in color. If you're just looking for a little cute fix, tune into the cameras capturing
at the Washington Animal Rescue League, but if you want something a little more wild, check in with
in Maine this spring, where wild osprey will return from wintering in South America to raise their young. Finally, conspiracy theorists out there will love
– hidden deep within an undisclosed location, you can scan the tree line for sightings of Sasquatch from the comfort of your home. 6.
: Located in South Salem, N.Y., this nonprofit environmental education center devoted to promoting wolf conservation hosts four webcams that document the daily lives of several of the center's residents. Check out
, a pair of Canadian/Rocky Mountain gray wolves, or watch the critically endangered
(there are only about 400 remaining in the world) or the
(just 300 surviving worldwide). The center, which hopes the webcams will promote interest in, and the revitalization of, these animals, has partnered with
, a website that shares live video of wildlife from around the world – from
to a popular
. There are new wildlife cams popping up all the time – especially when animals start raising families. Feel free to share your favorites on the Parenthacker's

Brembo NAO Ceramic pads are designed to deliver improved comfort and reduced pad wear.
Brembo NAO Pads represent our street-oriented pad for everyday use. Long service life and reduced pad wear are two attributes we have recognized as key for this type of application.
We have built a pad that can withstand frequent braking experienced during an average commute, thus giving you improved braking performance for longer.
Comfort is an important part of commuting, which is why our NAO ceramic pads are designed to reduce the overall levels of noise as well as vibrations coming from the brake system.
We have achieved this by using a combination of advanced friction materials and special "Brembo Red" multi-layered shims. Together, these two components dampen vibrations and neutralize most of the noise occurring during braking.
Brembo NAO ceramic pads contain no ferrous material while the overall concentration of other metals is also low.
As a result, NAO pads produce low amounts of brake dust, meaning that you won't have to clean your wheels as often.
High Carbon (HC) portion of our aftermarket range offer a sporty alternative to the OEM part with several added benefits. HC rotors greatly reduce noise and improve overall comfort during use.
It all comes down to the proprietary cast iron alloy that is high in carbon and helps achieve the high damping coefficient that HC rotors are known for.
Here at Brembo, we are dedicated to innovation.
Our brake rotors utilize a number of cutting edge technologies that improve performance, durability, resistance to environmental effects, and comfort.
With Brembo line of UV rotors, you are getting a perfectly balanced brake disc made by professionals who understand your driving needs.

Ray Lewis seeks the ultimate prize: Going out on top
- Elway%2C Schilling and others walked away after winning a title
- Tony LaRussa%2C Scotty Bowman were among the coaches who pulled it off
- Randy Moss could do it if the Niners should win the Super Bowl
Ray Lewis wants a storybook ending in Sunday's Super Bowl. Win the big game, two-step one last glorious dance and saunter slowly into the sunset — or, as Saturday Night Live suggested, ascend into heaven from the 50-yard line.
It's the American dream, dressed up in shiny helmet and shoulder pads: Make your last act a dramatic victory, preferably in the final, frantic moments, and exit stage right from the game's grandest stage.
Lewis, 37, emerged over 17 seasons as one of the NFL's all-time great linebackers. If his Baltimore Ravens win, he'd muscle his way into an exclusive club of sports heroes who memorably won championships in their last go-rounds. They include the likes of Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway, Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling and Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug.
"It's everybody's dream," Ravens wide receiver Anquan Boldin says, "to ride off on a white horse after winning" the Big One. The very notion of it promises a gauzy blend of slow-mo endings from feel-good sports movies and the happily ever after of fairy tales.
"What makes the narrative trajectory of going out a champion so appealing is it gives the impression of going out on your own terms," says Robert Thompson, founding director of the Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture at Syracuse University.
"Not because you were too old, not because your skills were beginning to wane, not because you didn't still have game. You stopped because you decided to, leaving behind the implied promise of other great chapters that could have been."
Should the San Francisco 49ers win, maybe wide receiver Randy Moss, two weeks shy of 36, could join the club. So much hype has surrounded Lewis' curtain call that some 49ers want equal time for Moss, though he waves that off.
"That's not me," Moss says. "I'm not a celebrator. I love to do my work and go home." Such modesty doesn't gibe with his valedictory claim that he's history's greatest wide receiver.
"If this is his last season," 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis says, "I want to make sure he goes out with a bang."
The trouble is Moss hasn't said if this really is his last rodeo. He told news reporters this week he'd like to come back for a 15th season, whereas Lewis announced to great fanfare before the playoffs that this would be his parting shot.
That's how it works for superstars. Lesser players and coaches are often told when to leave the game. Superstars more typically get to call their own shots.
Even so, the roll call of greats who've gone out with their hair smelling of celebratory champagne is not as long as you might think. Here is but a sampling:
Michael Strahan hung up his cleats after the New York Giants won Super Bowl XLII in 2008.
Pete Sampras won the 2002 U.S. Open, his 14th Grand Slam tennis title, and retired his racket.
Quarterback Otto Graham rode off after his Cleveland Browns won the 1955 NFL championship.
Bill Russell won the NBA title in 1969 as a player-coach. Then again, he was likely to retire a champ, given that his Boston Celtics won 11 championships in 13 seasons.
John Wooden retired after 27seasons as UCLA men's basketball coach in 1975 with his 10th NCAA tournament title in 12 years. His odds of going out on top were about as good as Russell's.
Some sports figures, like Lewis, tell the world they're going. "I believe that you should give everybody a fair chance to say their goodbyes," Lewis says.
Others, like Detroit Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman, tell no one. He announced his retirement on the ice after Detroit won the 2002 Stanley Cup, Bowman's ninth as a coach.
"I had decided in February, (but) I thought if I told anyone, it would get out. And I didn't want any ceremonies," he said.
He considered retiring a couple of years earlier, but the Red Wings sputtered to the finish that season. "When you lose, you think, 'I'd like to try it again,'" Bowman says.
There is a special category of going out a winner reserved for those who'd never won before their last chance — and that makes Al McGuire's swan song one of the sweetest in sports history.
McGuire famously wept on the Marquette bench as the final seconds of the 1977 men's basketball national championship game counted down the final seconds of his coaching career and an upset against Dean Smith's North Carolina Tar Heels.
No one was more surprised than McGuire himself. "I've always been the bridesmaid," he said then. "I never thought I'd really win."
Ray Bourque won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 2001 after 21 seasons and no happy endings. Boston Bruins fans celebrated his Cup as if it were their own.
"I couldn't breathe," Bourque said at the time. "I was trying to hold off the tears." It was the one thing he failed at that night.
More often, superstars, like their journeymen counterparts, end their careers with a loss. Lisa Leslie won two WNBA titles, three WNBA MVPs and four Olympic gold medals, but she ended her Los Angeles Sparks career in the 2009 WNBA conference finals. Don Shula won the most games in NFL history, but his coaching career ended with a desultory loss to the Bills in Buffalo in a 1995 playoff game that his Miami Dolphins trailed 27-0 entering the fourth quarter.
Syracuse's Thompson figures all that's OK, since we remember the biggest stars more for the entirety of their careers than their last stands. Winning in the final frame is more grace note than legacy builder.
"It fits a traditional storytelling pattern of a happy ending," Thompson says, "but we continue to have a sense of the greatness of Wilt Chamberlain and Arnold Palmer and Mickey Mantle" even if they didn't bow out on high notes.
Willie Mays had a chance to go out a winner, but the New York Mets lost the 1973 World Series to the Oakland Athletics in seven games. Mays lost a fly ball in the sun during one game and stumbled ingloriously, wistful counterpoint to the fly ball he chased down for the New York Giants in their 1954 Series sweep of the heavily favored Cleveland Indians with a legendary over-the-shoulder catch.
Michael Jordan retired as an NBA champion — twice. The first came months after the 1993 Finals, when he left to try his hand at baseball. The second came months after the 1998 Finals, where he hit a silky jumper with 5.2 seconds left to beat the Utah Jazz and give the Chicago Bulls their sixth NBA title.
That was to be our last image of him — and then he decided to mount yet another comeback, this time in Washington, where his Wizards finished 37-45 in consecutive seasons.
"That makes perfect emotional sense to me," Thompson says. "If you had a skill set like Michael Jordan, could you stay retired?"
Rocky Marciano managed it. He bowed out as heavyweight boxing champ in 1956 with a career record of 49-0. Marciano considered a bout against Ingemar Johansson in 1959, even training for a month, but ultimately thought better of it.
A more familiar tale is a boxer who always seems to come back for one bout, or several, too many. Muhammad Ali is Exhibit A.
He retired as champ in 1979 only to return in 1980, when Larry Holmes knocked him out in a beat-down. In 1981, plodding and slow and a month shy of 40, Ali lost his last fight by decision to less-than-immortal Trevor Berbick.
"I think I'm too old," Ali said after. "I was slow. I was weak, nothing but Father Time."
Only Marciano, and Father Time, win them all.
Jerome "The Bus" Bettis stood on the victory stand in 2006, the Lombardi Trophy held high, as he offered a formal retirement speech. "I'm a champion," he said, "and I think The Bus' last stop is here in Detroit."
His last days as a Pittsburgh Steelers running back were a matter of rampant speculation before Super Bowl XL, but only he knew for sure.
"It was a different vibe for me," Bettis says. "The way I approached the week, the actual game itself, I did everything in slow motion because I so wanted to soak it all in and experience everything for the last time. I wanted to take mental snapshots of everything."
Lewis, by contrast, says he is approaching this game the same as he always does.
"I don't think that's possible," Bettis says. "You say that, but deep down, in quiet moments, there's the realization that this is over."
Bettis was beloved. Lewis is a polarizing figure, beloved in Baltimore but scorned by many fans elsewhere. He pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in the wake of a double murder at an Atlanta nightclub after a Super Bowl party in 2000 — and won Super Bowl MVP with the Ravens a year later.
This week, Lewis' last hurrah is a focal point with its potent mix of redemption, retirement and deer antlers. (He denied a Sports Illustrated report linking him to antler velvet extract containing a banned substance.)
Tony La Russa, who called it a career after the his St. Louis Cardinals won a miracle World Series in 2011, thinks there's way too much emphasis on Lewis.
"I can't disagree with that more, putting one person anywhere near the top as far as story line," La Russa says. "I really think it's a mistake to focus on one individual. It's about team vs. team and all of the players who have a stake in it."
La Russa told Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak privately in August 2011 that he would retire at the end of the season.
"It was one of those deals that it didn't look like it was going to end well," he says. "I was really dreading that feeling. Then, we got into contention, and we started competing. Then, when we got into the playoffs, I'm thinking, 'Man, this is a gift.'"
The Cardinals beat the Texas Rangers in seven games, twice coming down to their final strike in a Game 6 for the ages.
"There were a couple of times we faced elimination and, hell, I wondered if this is it," La Russa says. "But it was never a dominant thought. Things just fell in place, and I was very fortunate."

Seth Meyers Announces First Guest for Late Night; Plans to Borrow From "Weekend Update"
Seth Meyers is still working out the kinks for when he takes over Late Night, but one thing he has for certain is his first guest.
Meyers, who takes the stage on Feb. 24 at 12:35 a.m./11:35c, told reporters at the Television Critics Association winter previews on Sundaythe first person to sit on his couch will be Amy Poehler. "She's basically Bono's common-law wife now," he joked, referring to her epic Golden Globes makeout with the singer.
7 Things to Expect From Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show
Here are some more things to expect when Late Night with Seth Meyers premieres!
Segments reminiscent of "Weekend Update"
Meyers, who has been a head writer on Saturday Night Live for eightyears,says he's drawn to the idea of making jokes about current events and has brought his "Weekend Update" head writer Alex Baze with him to the new show. "The trickiest thing about 'Weekend Update' is that often we write jokes Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and by Saturdaythey feel stale or someone else tells a version of it," Meyer says. "So we're excited to get out there and do jokes about the news, topical jokes, and we want to have a really strong monologue."
What to expect When Seth Meyers takes over Late Night
Fake characters! (But no Stefon or Drunk Uncle)
Meyers says he'd love to continue the tradition of incorporating characters into segments and has hired writers who are also performers for that purpose. "We made an effort to get a lot of people who can over the course of the show can get familiar to the audience," Meyers says. "I like being in a two-shot with someone who is funnier than me." In order not to confuse the audience, though, Meyers adds, "We plan to have a separate area so when you see them there you know it's not supposed to be a real person. "
Music is still a question mark
Meyers admits music is not his strong suit and that he and executive producer Mike Shoemaker are still figuring that aspect of the show out. "I am not the same kind of music aficionado as Jimmy [Fallon]," Meyers says. "I respect that this real estate has long been used to break out bands so certainly in hiring our music booker we were looking for someone who knows music more than I do."
VIDEO: Seth Meyers chooses his first guest for Late Night
He's open to guests of all facets
Meyers doesn't just want A-list actors, but lots of different types of guests. "As far as guests go, we want it not to be just creative people in show business, but we'd also love to have authors, politicians, athletes," Meyers says. "We're open to everything and we're hoping to get interesting people that not only the audience knows, but the audience gets to know."

Pentagon overseas propaganda plan stirs controversy
- Plan is to change attitudes of U.S. adversaries through messaging and advertising
- The Rendon Group provides "communications support" to the Pentagon and U.S. embassies
- Mullen says the term "strategic communication" is overused
WASHINGTON — Senior officers at the Pentagon are being advised on countering Taliban propaganda by a marketing expert whose company once weeded out reporters who wrote negative stories in Afghanistan and helped the military deceive the enemy in Iraq, according to military documents and interviews.
Since 2000, the military has paid the Rendon Group more than $100 million to help shape its communications strategy, analyze media coverage, run its propaganda programs and develop counter-narcotics efforts around the world, Pentagon documents show.
One aspect of the company's work is aimed at changing attitudes of U.S. adversaries through messaging and advertising. Some Pentagon officials, including retired admiral Michael Mullen, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reject that, preferring instead to provide information and context about military operations.
John Rendon insists his company simply helps the military avoid mistakes in getting its message across to foreign audiences.
He offers advice "to people who face tough challenges and choices in a complex global information environment." A government watchdog found Rendon's access to Pentagon decision makers troubling.
"Rendon's previous work vetting journalists, performing public relations, and engaging in propaganda campaigns cause some concerns about the company's advice about changing the narrative in Afghanistan," said Scott Amey, lead counsel for the Project on Government Oversight. "However, in Washington, D.C., officials might be less concerned about objectivity or organizational conflicts of interest, and more interested in hearing what they want to hear."
Mullen refused to use the term "strategic communication" and told USA TODAY in an interview shortly before he retired last year that he had no use for it.
"I really do not like the term at all. It confuses people," Mullen said. "It means all things to all people. It's way overused and way overrated. I literally try never to use the term. We communicate as much if not more by our actions. I have become particularly concerned at a time that resources are so precious. It has become a thing unto itself. It is taking resources from the fight, I don't have time for it."
On Oct. 12, Rendon appeared at the Pentagon at a forum to help the military "synchronize our strategic narrative and counter the Taliban's," according to an announcement about his appearance. It was an off-the-record event and included dozens of senior military officers and civilian officials. They gathered in a Pentagon conference room outfitted with large television screens to allow officials in Kabul, Pakistan and Tampa, home of U.S. Central Command, to take part.
The Joint Chiefs declined to name the officer or civilian responsible for inviting Rendon. Army Lt. Col. Patrick Seiber, a spokesman for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the Pakistan/Afghanistan Coordination Cell (PACC) "invited Rendon to speak at our weekly Federation Forum for an unclassified, non-attribution, academic discussion on his thoughts and experience in the area of strategic communications and messaging. His appearance at the Fed Forum falls in line with a wide range of views and topics presented weekly by the PACC. Mr Rendon was not financially compensated for his appearance."
The cell is commanded by Army Maj. Gen. Stephen Townsend.
The Rendon Group has had a controversial history. Rendon also helped the Pentagon develop its policy on strategic communications, advising the Defense Science Board in 2001 that it needed to do more to shape public opinion. The firm was the subject of a Pentagon investigation into concerns raised in Congress that Rendon helped rally support for the 2003 invasion of Iraq. That investigation, by the Pentagon inspector general, found that Rendon employees had not done anything improper.
More recently, in 2009, his contract in Afghanistan for strategic communication was severed by the military after it was learned that the company was weeding out reporters who might write negative stories. In 2010, Pentagon contract records show, Rendon served as a subcontractor in 2010 in Iraq supplying services for "military deception."
Pentagon records also show that since 2009, Rendon has advised the Army's Training and Doctrine Command when it was under the direction of Gen. Martin Dempsey, who is now the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the Office of the Secretary of Defense and a strategic communication exercise called Sovereign Challenge, which is run by the Special Operations Command.
Currently, employees of The Rendon Group provide "communications support" to the Pentagon and U.S. embassies, for counter-narcotics programs, according to Lt. Col. James Gregory, a Pentagon spokesman. That support includes tracking local print, radio, television and online reporting and helping countries such as Pakistan and Colombia "conduct effective communications in support of U.S. and partner nation counter-narcotics objectives." Those contracts were worth more than $11 million in 2011 and 2012.
The top officer at Rendon could cost a federal agency such as the Pentagon as much as $2,490 a day, or $908,000 on an annual basis, for salary, benefits and overhead, according to a government price list for a recent contract.
Todd Gitlin, a professor at the Columbia University in New York, blamed the Pentagon and Congress for failing to do their jobs in informing the public and oversight.
"That the Pentagon outsources its (public relations) counseling is perhaps unsurprising, because their in-house efforts are so frequently ineffective," Gitlin said. "That they turn to a contractor who includes military deception as part of his expertise is also, I suppose, to be expected. Do members of Congress realize they are appropriating funds for these purposes? Do they care?"

NEW DELHI (AP) — In the court of public opinion, the men being tried in the gang rape of an Indian university student should be hanged in a public square.
That demand for swift justice might make it impossible for them to get a fair trial in a court of law. Already, there are plenty of portents.
Amid the heightened emotions that have surrounded this case a local bar association has stopped its members from representing the men citing the heinous nature of the crime. The three grandstanding lawyers who have rushed in to represent the accused spent weeks taking potshots at each other instead of coordinating a defense. Two lawyers fought for days over which one was representing one of the defendants.
And the case is being heard by a brand new fast track court, set up in the wake of the rape to deal with sexual assaults in the capital, that is under pressure to reach a verdict within weeks. Finally, whatever is said or submitted in court has to stay in the room -- a gag order by the judge prevents the media from reporting anything about the case.
"However wicked and depraved society may perceive a person to be, he deserves a fair trial. He deserves a good defense," said Markandey Katju, a retired judge of India's Supreme Court.
"That some of those charged are the real culprits and some are innocent ... that is a very real possibility," he said, adding that in India the police "spreads its net wide."
As details of the attack have emerged Katju said he feared the trial may be overrun by emotion rather than the calm voice of reason.
"You can't decide cases on sentiment. That's lynch law."
The specifics of the gang rape are horrifying. According to the police report, the attack lasted at least 45 minutes. There were six attackers, one of whom claims to be a juvenile and is being tried separately. Each of the men raped the 23-year-old woman, with at least two taking turns driving the bus. They penetrated her with two metal rods, causing such severe internal injuries that doctors later found parts of her intestines floating freely inside her abdomen.
The battered woman and her badly beaten male friend were then thrown out of the moving bus and lay naked and bleeding on the side of a busy road on a cold December night.
The attack was so brutal that the woman died two weeks later in a Singapore hospital.
Within two days of the attack the police arrested the six accused. According to the police all six confessed their crimes. The police report said that DNA evidence from the men tied all of them in the rape and murder. According to police documents blood and saliva swabs from the accused matched the DNA found on the victim's injuries. The victim's blood was also found on the clothes, underwear and slippers of the accused.
The attack in the heart of New Delhi brought protesters into the streets demanding the government protect women and ensure those attacked get justice. In response, the city government set up five fast track courts to swiftly handle those cases, keeping them out of India's overburdened regular court system, where trials can drag on for years if not decades.
As the police framed charges against the men and prepared for trial the bar association of Saket, the district where the case is being heard, declared that their members would not represent the men. They were following a precedent set by lawyers' groups across India over the last few years, which have banned their members from representing those accused of terrorism and other heinous crimes.
"This is completely unconstitutional and unethical," said Katju. "Right minded lawyers should defy and ignore such rulings."
Outside the courtroom the cries for a quick trial and execution of the five men have persisted.
"They should be handed over to the public and hanged," said Prakash, a 51-year-old gardener who had come to court on a personal matter but waited to get a glimpse of the accused being whisked into court. She uses only one name.
The three men who rushed forth to represent the accused were not members of the local bar and have spent more time fighting each other than putting up a defense.
One insisted he would ask the Supreme Court to move the trial out of Delhi because emotions were too high to hold a fair trial here. But when a second lawyer made a similar appeal, the first changed his mind and vehemently opposed it.
One lawyer, M.L. Sharma, has accused police of planting the other two defense lawyers to ensure a guilty verdict.
"I'm the only hurdle standing in their way," Sharma said earlier this week. Even as he made his allegations, fellow defense counsel V.K. Anand stepped up to say that Sharma's client had decided to fire his lawyer — and hire him.
The dispute over who would represent the defendant was only resolved Thursday — the day the trial started. Sharma dropped out of the trial, saying he feared his client would be tortured to get him to change his lawyer. Anand replaced him.
Sharma has accused police of beating all five men to extract their confessions, then later amended that to say only his client was beaten. He also made unsubstantiated accusations that the victim's male friend was somehow responsible for the deadly assault, only to backtrack later.
Another lawyer, A.P. Singh, said the only reason he agreed to represent two of the accused was because their families had begged his mother for help.
"My mother has a kind heart and an order from her is like an order from God," he said, posing dramatically for the cameras.
Anand hasn't spoken about his strategy, but both Sharma and Singh have claimed at least once that their clients were not even on the bus during the attack.
In the past, courts across the country have criticized the police for coercing confessions and even planting evidence to get convictions.
"We set so little store by how the police functions in this country. There's no reason to accept the police's version of events in this case without thorough legal scrutiny," said Jawahar Raja, a lawyer and activist.
The defense is made even more complicated by the fact the case is being tried in a fast track court. As a result the police has put together its case at rapid speed. The trial has started even as defense lawyers are falling into place.
"Justice takes some time. It's all very easy to talk about fast track courts," said Katju, adding that cases should be tried quickly and efficiently but without a looming deadline.
"A judge has to read all the documents, hear the lawyers, apply his mind. It's not a magic lamp that with a swish you can dispose of a case."

Some high school graduations are cracking down on - wait for it - cheering. Yep, apparently it's not dignified. Welcome to the RidicuList, all you enthusiasm haters.
Post by: Anderson Cooper
Filed under: The RidicuList
Ok that was just stupid. I mean some parents can be overly excited, but to punish celebration is just too much.
These families typically show up with 20-30 people and they bring loud noise makers, dance in their seats, yell and scream whooping and hollering which keeps someone else s parent from seeing and / or hearing their own child's name called. They sometimes carry on for more than 5 min. If the school halted for every family to cheer as these families often do then we would never get through the hundreds of graduates. I think the graduate should not be punished but if the parent causes enough disruption that the police feel its disorderly conduct then they should be arrested just like anyone would be when causing a public disturbance.
The issue with this school in SC is that the parents are loud cheering and stomping drowns out the next graduate name. Some parents have bought bull horns and other noise makers. Each parent was asked to hold the applause, but some don't think rules apply to them. The parents were asked to leave and the reason why some were arrested was based on their actions after being asked to leave. This is example of a parent making a graduation about one student instead of entire class. Every student has worked hard for the pass 12 years, and not just her daughter. She taking to the media is another way the parent is taking the spotlight off the whole class and putting it on her daughter and self. The district has three high school of 200 plus students graduating on the stay day, and each school has a time limit. Its impossible to stop the ceremony every time. I graduated from the same district and the noise level is extremely loud. Several students names have been drowned out by the actions of others. Each parent needs to have respect for each other because everyone wants to hear the graduate name. Why can't everyone hold the cheering to end of the ceremonies? Personally, I am glad that the district has put this policy into place. My son will be walking the stage in four years, and its been a struggle just getting him to high school. I am sure the next four years won't be in different, but I will be able control myself and follows rules to hold the applause to the end of the ceremony!
I thought I heard it all. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I hope the parents fight this and make a point on their rights.
@Naline I think they are correct in punishing those getting excessive cheering. I've been to graduations that were absolutely ruined for some kids unfortunate enough to be following a kid who's friends and family go crazy screaming and yelling for several minutes.
Would you feel the same if you missed hearing your child's name called because some people would not be quiet and sit down? The parties are for afterwards. it is no more appropriate to make a scene at a graduation ceremony than it would be in a theatre or a church. Respect for others and good manners DO matter.
The problem lies with the kids and families that want to bring attention to themselves. When the graduation has to stop for more than five seconds, a line has been crossed. The public high school in my hometown had to "crack down" because some families (with 20+ members in attendance) would stand up, yell, scream, sing, and put on their own little demonstration for 30 seconds to a full minute. Some other, families, not to be outdone, would stage their own celebration...mid-ceremony. With 250-350 students parading across the stage, ... do the math. It would have taken "forever" to hand out the diplomas. These celebrations were so raucous, that some families couldn't even hear their child's name announced over the PA system due to the extended celebrations (by the families of the preceding graduates).
Graduation ceremonies are a rite, not a right. If you want to have a party for your graduate where you can sing, clap, dance, yell, etc,, do it after the ceremony at a private location.
That's a circus, not a simple cheer as this video talks about.
A kid and his family have to complete community service just for cheering?! That's too extreme! When did cheering at a graduation become a criminal act?! This school district owes this kid and his family an apology!
Does this punishment only apply to black families? They're the only ones I've seen (in different reports) get this kind of extreme punishment!
No, the family owes the school and the other graduates an apology. Maybe community service will help these people understand that they are not the only people on earth.
Anderson, please show a shot of what a high school graduation in Hawai'i...please . Mahalo aka thank you.

– Enhanced CRJ900 NextGen aircraft now offers up to 5.5 per cent lower fuel consumption
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Dec 13, 2013) – Bombardier Aerospace announced today that American Airlines Group Inc., of Dallas, Texas has signed a firm purchase agreement to acquire 30 CRJ900 NextGen aircraft and has also taken options on an additional 40.
Based on the list price for the CRJ900 NextGen aircraft, the firm order contract is valued at approximately $1.42 billion US and could increase to approximately $3.38 billion US if the 40 options are converted into firm orders.
With this order, American Airlines becomes the first customer to benefit from the latest enhancements to the CRJ900 NextGen regional jet. In addition to the four per cent improvement in fuel burn already achieved with the "NextGen" package, enhancements to the aircraft's powerplant and ongoing weight reduction initiatives, which include upgraded avionics, will offer a further reduction of up to 1.5 per cent. Altogether, this represents a 5.5 per cent fuel burn reduction over the earlier generation CRJ900 aircraft, and up to 5.0 per cent lower fuel burn compared to announced competitive, in-production jets in the same seat class.
"It's been an exciting week for American Airlines," said Peter Warlick, Vice President, Fleet Planning, American Airlines. "We've closed our merger with US Airways Group, Inc. and as we begin the work to harmonize the American and US Airways operations, an agreement like this with Bombardier will greatly improve our ability to optimize our flying with the right aircraft to meet customer demand. This order will allow American to lower costs by replacing older aircraft."
"We congratulate American Airlines and US Airways on their merger and are delighted that the merged airline will use Bombardier aircraft for its present and future fleet requirements," said Mike Arcamone, President, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. "Our ongoing commitment to the technological updates of our product offerings is today realized with value enhancements made to the CRJ900 NextGen aircraft. Over the years we have been successfully driving down operating costs by introducing fuel efficiency improvements and maintenance cost reductions. The product enhancements to the CRJ900 NextGen aircraft offer fuel cost savings of up to $500,000 US* per aircraft."
Including the American Airlines order announced today, Bombardier has recorded firm orders for 1,812 CRJ Series aircraft, including 339 CRJ900 and CRJ900 NextGen aircraft. Worldwide, CRJ Series aircraft are in service with more than 60 airlines and more than 30 customers operate corporate variants of the aircraft. The aircraft are operating in over 50 countries on six continents, and on average, a CRJ aircraft takes off every 10 seconds somewhere in the world.

A North Carolina newspaper deliveryman picked up a teddy bear on a rural road, only to have authorities tell him later a bomb had been stuffed inside. Anthony Cannon, a carrier for The Shelby Star, said Friday he spotted the toy before dawn Thursday along his route near Lattimore, a tiny town about 50 miles west of Charlotte. When he picked it up, some sort of container fell out. He left the bear along the road and put the container in his car. After driving 20 minutes to Shelby and examining the container closely, he realized it could be dangerous. Cleveland County Sheriff Alan Norman says Cannon was lucky. Though the sheriff couldn't speak to the construction of the device, he said it was capable of exploding.

Suffer and Be Merry
Eastern versions of the new old tradition
Most rock climbing areas do fine without throwing themselves a huge party every year and forcing representatives from the outdoor industry to pay for the kegs and their attendance. But ice climbers are twisted breeds. How come there are so many winter celebrations?
First up was the Keene Valley Ice Festival, held in the Adirondacks of upstate New York. Despite its low-key image, Keene is one slick event, undoubtedly thanks to the festival's major patrons: Vinny McClelland of the Mountaineer climbing shop and Ed Palin of Rock and River Guide Service. The event is based out of Rock and River's impressive lodge, a place with a genuine end-of-the-road feel, yet fully decked out with food, sleeping accommodations and hot tubs.
Despite being a North Conway, New Hampshire, local, I approach my own hometown ice fest—the Mount Washington Valley Ice Festival—with some cynicism. Maybe it was only the bitter memory of the time five years ago when Jared Ogden flashed my mixed project. Regardless, there is a big difference between crashing someone else's party and throwing your own.
Hosted by International Mountain Equipment (IME) and International Mountain Climbing School, the ice fest underwent a renaissance this year. Gone are the days when the junior guides would set up tables and hang banners in the basement of the local Ramada Inn to greet the out-of-towners. Thanks to the planning efforts of Sarah Garlick and Anne Skidmore, demos and après-climb refreshments were held upstairs in the venerable IME headquarters. Someone made the wise decision to curtail the slideshows to a single evening, and make Saturday night all party. As the local band Audio Kick Stand played, I even caught a glimpse of local stalwart Doug Madera actually enjoying himself. Now that's reason to celebrate.

More than 21,000 Internet-connected devices sold by Honeywell are vulnerable to a hack that allows attackers to remotely seize control of building heating systems, elevators, and other industrial equipment and in some cases, causes them to malfunction.
The hijacking vulnerability in Niagara AX-branded hardware and software sold by Honeywell's Tridium division was demonstrated at this week's Kaspersky Security Analyst Summit in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle, two security experts with a firm called Cylance, allowed an audience to watch as they executed a custom script that took about 25 seconds to take control of a default configuration of the industrial control software. When they were done they had unfettered control over the device, which is used to centralize control over alarm systems, garage doors, heating ventilation and cooling systems, and other equipment in large buildings.
Taking advantage of the flaw would give attackers half a world away the same control on-site engineers have over connected systems. Extortionists, disgruntled or unstable employees, or even terrorists could potentially exploit vulnerabilities that allow them to bring about catastrophic effects, such as causing a large heating system to explode or catch fire or sabotaging large chillers used by hospitals and other facilities. Attackers could also exploit the bug to gain a toehold into networks, which could then be further penetrated using additional vulnerabilities that may be present.
"We actually just used this against one of our premium clients a couple weeks ago," Rios said, referring to a penetration test he performed to test a customer's network for hacking vulnerabilities. "They were pretty shocked. They took their device off the Internet before the engagement was over."
The researchers said a recent query on the Shodan computer search engine found 21,541 Internet-connected Niagara devices, some operated by military installations, hospitals, and other mission-critical facilities. Tests the pair performed on a small sample of the machines confirmed they were accessible over the Internet. The nondescript boxes are often installed by third-party contractors in out-of-the-way closets, so on-site administrators and managers may not even know they're in use. In addition to opening up critical equipment to tampering, Tridium's products also expose corporate and government networks to intruders since the devices are often connected directly to local networks using one of two Ethernet ports built into the boxes.
ICS: less secure than iTunes
This week's hack was only the latest demonstration of the risks created by many industrial control systems (ICS), which are designed to use computers to control building temperatures, turn alarms on and off, and maintain emergency generators and industrial power supplies. Tridium quietly patched its Niagara software last year after Rios and McCorkle found it contained a separate vulnerability that also allowed unauthorized access. A raft of other ICS devices have been found to contain similar critical defects, including those from Siemens-owned Ruggedcom and another line of mission-critical routers made by a Fremont, California-based GarrettCom.
The devices are billed as a way to lower the cost of maintaining large collections of equipment that are often scattered throughout buildings or other facilities. Rather than requiring engineers to travel to where each device is physically located, they can make changes remotely, from a single office in the building, or even off-site. Indeed, Tridium's marketing material defines the Niagara framework as a "universal software infrastructure that allows companies to build custom, web-enabled applications for accessing, automating, and controlling smart devices in real time over the Internet." The company provides a wealth of customer case studies, including one from the James Cook University Hospital in the UK.
Security experts have long argued that the convenience often comes at the price of security, and there are some disturbing examples of the risks from the last couple of years. In 2009, a recently discharged security guard who had physical access to ICS computers was arrested after posting screen shots and videos showing him planning to remotely cripple air-conditioning systems at a Texas hospital, where temperatures regularly reach into the triple digits. Last year, hackers illegally accessed the Internet-connected heating and air-conditioning controls of a New Jersey-based company. The vulnerability the intruders exploited was the same one Tridium patched in secret last year.
Despite the potentially critical consequences of ICS hacks, manufacturers sometimes decline to patch their wares at all, giving rise to the term forever-day vulnerabilities. Last year, Rios said the security of iTunes was more robust than most ICS software.
Game Over
Rios and McCorkle declined to describe the specific series of vulnerabilities behind their latest hack other than to say the bugs allowed them to remotely acquire a configuration file used to customize a Niagara box for a specific network. Among other things, the
config.bog file contains user names and passwords that are encoded using "encraption," the word the research pair uses to describe Tridium engineers' encryption routines. Using the credentials, they were able to gain access to the "station" layer of the device that provides only limited user rights. Exploiting another series of vulnerabilities allowed them to access Niagara's "platform," which gives them full "system" access when it runs on Microsoft Windows or "root" access when running on Linux or a proprietary embedded operating system.
"Once we own the platform, it's game over," Rios said.
Rios said he acquired a Tridium box by purchasing one on eBay. He then spent months reverse engineering the firmware it ran. His job was made easy by the fact that much of the Niagara framework uses unsigned, unobfuscated Java code, allowing him to decompile the binary and read the raw source code.
In a statement issued Wednesday evening, Tridium officials said:
Tridium takes these security issues very seriously and we appreciate the efforts by researchers like Billy Rios and Terry McCorkle to raise awareness about them.
Tridium was made aware of the vulnerability cited at the conference in late December 2012, and immediately began working on a solution, in cooperation with both ICS-Cert and the researchers. We will be issuing a security patch that resolves the problem by Feb. 13 and are alerting our user community about this today. We share the concern that Mr. Rios and Mr. McCorkle have in raising awareness about the need to protect Internet-facing control systems. The vast majority of Niagara AX systems are behind firewalls and VPNs—as we recommend—but clearly, as Rios and McCorkle have shown, there are many systems potentially at risk.
The Tridium vulnerabilities are among more than 1,000 bugs Rios and McCorkle have reported to ICS manufacturers over the past year, resulting in 30 advisories issued by the Department of Homeland Security-affiliated ICS-CERT. They said the engineers who designed the systems are often defensive and direct their anger back at the researchers once the vulnerabilities are disclosed.
"We don't think we're the only ones that are doing this," Rios said of the research into ICS. "There's tons of other people that are doing this and they're not standing on a stage somewhere presenting their work for the whole world to see. That's what they really need to worry about. These guys are kind of stuck a little bit in the stone age."
